You’re quite right @Bass4real the place called Reading, UKis pronounced Redding
London isn’t spelled Lundun
Worcestershire also fails
British English spelling makes little sense And I mostly blame the Romans
I do partly agree, playing bass is a mentality that your part is a piece of the whole cake, not the entire cake in and of itself. I think that’s why guitarists don’t nail it, they can’t take a step back backwards. Whereas bass players are more able to step out of the box occasionally
Yes, @Bluewine has got the hang of our humour now (he’s in Milwaukee, I think) and @dclaassen is resident here. You’ll get us soon enough, banter is always heavily cultural and IME pubs are different to US bars in some ways so some of the pub content may be a little opaque to you.
Is this the five minute argument or the full half hour?

The way I see is this:
bumper stickers about your affiliations invite discord and arguments. If you keep your views to yourself (bumper stickers fairly rare here) no one is going to find a fast reason to disagree or dislike you.
I view stating my politics as being exactly like driving around in a car with a pro-Harris /pro trump sticker on it. Keep it for the ballot box on election day.
